One thing I've always been curious about is how people tint there tail lights, indicators etc. Is there a particular paint you can buy or a particular process you use use to tint/smoke lights or indicators? Or is it something that needs to be done professionally? In most cases I've looked at it almost looks like a dark clear paint has been spray over the top of it (or inside it?) to give it its finish.

Cheers,

Night Shades - available from supercheap etc, youll find it hidden on the shelves somewhere....

Illegal too, but looks good...

Best way, take the lights off put them side by side and do heaps of thin light coats untill you have desired darkness.....

My mate stuck a layer of gloss over them to and they look much better.,..

ive got a can of nightshades in my cupboard, along with some clear coat...

bought it with the intention to add a bit of tint to my rear indicators on my R33, but never got around to it....

should cost you about $14 for the can...look for the dude with the dark glasses on a silver/blue can with a black lid :D

    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
    • A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.
